OBTAINING INVESTOR VISAS

The EB-5 visa program was designed to help bolster the U.S. economy by awarding visas to people who invest a substantial amount of money into a new business venture within the U.S. In order to apply for an immigrant investor visa, you will need to complete a Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur, and meet several important qualifications. If you are interested in pursuing an EB-5 immigrant investor visa, contact our Orlando immigration lawyer right away to being the process of applying.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN INVESTOR VISA?

Those looking to obtain an investor visa are required to invest in a new commercial enterprise that was established after November 29, 1990 or has been restructured such that a new commercial enterprise results.

A commercial enterprise is a for-profit activity formed for the ongoing conduct of business, such as:

Sole proprietorship

Partnership, either limited or general

Holding company

Joint venture

Corporation

Business trust, either publicly or privately owned

The investment minimum required to be eligible for an EB-5 visa is $500,000 if the new venture is located in a struggling area. This may include either a rural region or a region with a high unemployment rate. An investor may also give $1 million if the business is located anywhere within the U.S. In addition, this investment must cause the creation of at least 10 new full-time jobs within the first 2 years after a person receives their non-immigrant visa.

In addition, you may be eligible for an E-1 or E-2 visa if you reside in one of the United States’ treaty countries and conduct substantial trade activities or who have made considerable investments in U.S. business ventures.

The first step in applying for an E5 immigrant investor visa is to file Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
